Nelson is the true voice of Chenard, speaking through the prism of Gainsbourg's work. In Gainsbourg there's everything, poetry, humour, provocation, hopelessness, love, sex, alcohol... What was unconciously chosen can be sum up by the title of Nelson's album, out on 12 october 2005.

The name Nelson was chosen in reference to Serge Gainsbourg's masterpiece, Melody Nelson (1971).
